1. You must sho w ALL work in a clear and o rganized manner in order to receive full credit. Insufficient
work or incomplete explanations will result in a loss of points.
2. Cheating will be dealt with severely. Keep your eyes on your own pap er, and do not attempt to talk or
communicate to any student around you. Students who are involved in any kind of cheating will
receive a ZERO on this test, and will be referred to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action.
3. Except for a simple numerical mistake in adding points, any appeals regarding how this exam was
graded must be submitted in writing (return the exam al so) within 3 class meetings after the test was
handed back.
Test #1 Raw Score: ____ / 60 Test #1 Grade: _____ / 100
1. (10 pts) In the figure below, the infinite plane has a charge density of
η
= +35.2×10–9 C/m2, the infinite
line has a charge density of
λ
= –8.2 ×10–9 C /m and the point charge has Q = –0.72×10–9 C. What is
the net electric fi eld (magnitude and direction) at point P?

  1. (10 pts) have at your disposal, three light You are given an object and are asked to determine what kind of charge it has (if any).-weight balls hanging from strings, and you know that one ball is You neutral, one is positively charged, and one is negatively charged. would use (and the possible outcomes for each step) to determine the charge on the unknown object. Describe, in detail, the process you [ To receive full credit, your description must include all possible steps and all possible outcomes ]
  2. (10 pts) Two line charges, with equal but opposite sign charge densities semicircle as shown. You need to determine the electric field at point P at the center of the semicircle. ± λ, are combined to form a To do so, you treat the line as a bunch of point charges and use the principle of superposition. the steps (coordinates, locate point P, point charge, draw vectors, symmetry) of the visualization part of Apply the process to set up this problem.

  1. A thick conducting spherical shell, with inner radius of electrostatic equilibrium. A point charge is at the center of the shell. a = 0.04m and outer radius The electric field at a distance b = 0.05m, is in a state of inward, toward the center. r = 0.06m from the center has a magnitude of E = 25,000 N/C and points a. (5 pts) What is the surface charge density on the outer surface of the conducting shell?

b. (5 pts) If the conducting shell has a total net charge of charge at the center? [ if you can’t get part (a), ask for (^) help and you can “buy” the answer for 3 pts −16 nC, what is the charge on the point ]

[ positive charge density. Describe qualitatively, in as much detail as possible, what 3 pts extra credit ] An electron is release from rest at a distance x from an infinite line charge with a happens to the electron after it is released, and what equations you can or cannot use to analyze its motion (and why).
